    First, I LIKE THIS VIDEO.
    Second, I'm not going to read all the comments that were already posted (there's a lot), so maybe I'm stepping on toes or re-stating the already stated.
    This video is informative, professional, well spoken and well illustrated. The narrator sounds young, but this is first rate. My only criticism is that it could have been more comprehensive. He could have mentioned that lowering FPS, resolution, and recording to a Ram-disk could all help improve the output FPS.

    Also, if you do decide to record with Fraps, like GearDown mentions i highly recommend recording the videos to an unused secondary Harddrive or even to an external Harddrive as the file sizes are huge.
    I have a 2TB external HDD and one of my hour long recordings managed to reach more than 100GB of data (it was split into multiple parts).

    Thanks, excellent video
    but I still have a question : Can I remove the data that shows up on the top of the screen while I record ? M not talking about the two numbers that you remove with F12, but about those that shows up only when you record, FPS and ms and other, all written in white

    Well if you go to the Fraps website it gives you a download tab, which is the fraps trail, and then the buy/purchase tab, which unlocks the full version of fraps. The 30 second trial is so that you can test out their software to see if it works for you

  • @suijen2
    @suijen2 13 лет назад

    so, theres something i want to record, but it should take about 8-12 days of filming time, but im planning on replaying it at about 4x speed, would haveing recording set to a frame rate of 10 give me a smaller file size?

    For all you people asking how to start recording with fraps the button is F9 , the frame rate counter on the right hand side of ur screen should go red when recording.

    @SirShizuka 12 лет назад

    I have meny quastions for posting videos of games on youtube... playing in full HD, on a 1Mb dl, 30KB upload line. What image speed? what recording size? what editing programme? and what file size target? Its confusing that half of fullHD would be 960*540 wich i believe is not a standard youtube video size so do you accept savage upscalling, add black lines, or must one change the ingame resolution to be more appropriate with the video? Wich would be awcard for everyday gaming...

  • @Moose808
    @Moose808 12 лет назад

    @MomoMovies2000 what are you trying to record? I'm only about to start using fraps so probably the worst person to give advice but a general principle would be to lower the quality of your recording. Unfortunately an old computer with a full harddrive will porbably give crap results but you can lower FPS so make recording smoother, also decrease resolution in-game or on your computers control panel...if you're recording a game, lower the graphics and deatial etc

    you have to enter the game and once you do press F9 or your hotkey that you set up. once you do that the yellow numbers in the corner will turn red, that means its recording

  • @MadjinnSayan

  • @nifterific8151
    @nifterific8151 12 лет назад

    Yes. The video output is not compressed yet. Use a program like Windows Movie Makes and save the file as a WMV and it will compress it. Also recording on "half size" will help keep file size down.

    I need some help. I downloaded the free version of fraps and used it to record a little bit of Minesweeper, just to test it out. Ever since then, I haven't been able to open Minesweeper again, so I'm wondering if that was caused by fraps or if it's completely unrelated. I don't know what I should do. If someone knows how to fix it or anything, please reply and let me know.

  • @WaterCat5

    @usaf31 You have to use a video editing software. I would suggest Virtual Dub because it's free. You have to use the append option in it to tag the videos on to each other.
